Hi! I am new to this forum, but I have a question about OPKs too. My DH and I have been TTC #2 for almost 3 years. A little over a year ago I started having a lot of issues - cycle was irregular and all over the place, wouldn't ovulate for months, cycle would go from light to extremely heavy and huge clots (TMI). OB/Gyn did all kinds of test - everything was normal. Decided to go in laparoscopically to look for endometriosis and he found nothing - said everything looked perfect - no reason as to why I shouldn't be able to have baby # 2. My husband works out of town and is gone 11-15 days at a time, so we figured that was a lot of it (not timing it up right). Because I have had months with no ovulation, OB put me on 50mg of clomid. I did 2 rounds on 50mg and levels were extremely low. He then put me on 100mg and I ovulated, but never got a BFP. I came off clomid for several months and just started back 100mg this cycle. I'm on CD15 and took the clomid on CD 3-7. According to my charts and the length of my cycle and clomid calculator, I am scheduled to ovulate from CD10-17. I had EWCM 2 days ago, which was CD13. DH and I BD on the 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 27th and 28th (today). I did not take OPK on the 26th (day of EWCM) b/c I did not have a test - haven't tested in a while b/c we can only BD when he is home, so we just try as much as possible and b/c we are so tired of the BFN's. I didn't get the EWCM until late on the 26th, so I bought a test and tested this morning thinking it might still show positive. It was negative. Could it be I tested too late or not ovulated yet? I have been having extreme pelvic pain last night and all day today - almost as bad as labor. It has finally stopped. I have also been gassy, sore boobs and last night when we BD it was painful? Anyone experience this while taking Clomid? I've never had side effects like this in the past.

Ok so I can't comment on the clomid as haven't used it, however I can say that possibly you would have missed your surge hence not getting a positive opk, for some ladies there's only a 6-12 hour period that a opk would be a positive, if the ewcm started two days ago and you've had paid these last two days id say you ovulated, when I ovulate and have sex it generally hurts too! Feels very deep!! You could also not have had your surge so my advice is to keep testing on the opk's twice a day for the next 7 days and upload the photos and we will help I ALWAYS ovulate on the 13/14 day of my cycle but this cycle I ovulated 19/20th day and have got my bfp! Had i done the estimated opk testing between cd11/cd16 I would of completely missed my ovulation which was 5 days later than normal! Keep us posted! Also never use fmu! Xxx

Well went to bathroom just a little ago and had bright red blood when wiped but brown now so guess the witch is on her way

 

[bellyfever]

Now there's nothing?? Confused but having cramps off and on so guessing the witch will prob show her face in the morning? Kinda depressed right now

 

[Loulabear22]

Oh I'm sorry honey? Although isn't it a tad to early for AF? Could if not be implantation bleeding? Sounds gross but have you checked your cervix? Is that how AF normally starts for you? Xxx

 

[bellyfever]

Still haven't started? Bfn again this morning also. I guess it could have been implantation bleeding? But I didn't think it could be bright red? It wasn't much but my temp has been showing dropping too so makes me think I'm not also. CP is mfc. Af starts all different kinds of ways for me now a days lol. She comes full blast or have spotting day before sometimes, so it's hard to predict. I hope it was implantation bleeding fx

 

[bellyfever]

And af isn't supposed to start till Monday or Tuesday so it is a bit early

I'm hoping I just missed my surge because so far it's still reading low and no smiley face It normally doesn't hurt for me when I ovulate and we have sex. That's why I'm so worried it's the clomid making me feel this way...even though it hasn't in the past. I have read horror stories about it though and how it can cause cysts. I'm going to continue to test and have sex until he leaves (which is tomorrow) b/c he will be gone for another 11 days before returning home. I really hope I ovulated 3 days ago and not going to later this month with him leaving. That's usally how it works. I ovulate too soon when he hasn't made it home or right after he leaves or not at all. Congrats on your BFP - I'm sure you are so excited. I can't wait to get my BFP. I haven't seen one of those in almost 7 years when I found out I was pregnant with our daughter. Thanks for your advice

Belly fever implantation bleeding can range to be honest as it depends how irritated your uterus gets, I've never had the bleeding but I know tons of women who do! Have you got your 10 ml tests yet? Xx

 

[Loulabear22]

Chedge fingers crossed you did ovulate and the little eggy gets caught! Update as you go along please xx

 

[bellyfever]

Got my test today but they sent the wrong ones so they are 25miu. Was mad when opened them, took one this afternoon and still bfn. Still no af? Very little light brown spotting off and on all day with cramps? Confused if it's af or implantation? Well do another test in the morning really wish I had the 10miu test!

 

[bellyfever]

Bfn this morning again temp keeps dropping so I'm saying I'm out, if that was implantation bleeding I would think I would have bfp by now and temps would be going up not down. Have you scheduled dr appt yet? How are you feeling?

 

[Loulabear22]

I have a appointment on Wednesday with doctors and then 6th of January is my first midwife appointment! Oh I'm sorry honey I'll still cross my fingers but let's hope for a quick cycle onto the next ovulation days! I don't know anything about temps xxx

 

[Loulabear22]

Do you have a update Bellyfever?? Xxx

 

[Loulabear22]

15/16dpo think my progression is good and bean is sticky, had lots of cramping though so not sure what's happening! Hope your ok xxx

 

[bellyfever]

Your progression is looking really good!! Hope that little bean is super sticky! Still no AF?? Still have spotting though? Really wish af would just come already so we can move on to next month. I hate having long weird cycles all the time, so wish I was a little more predictable. Here are test from today. Blue is fmu, green is smu and took a opk with that one just for fun and look at what I got???

 

[Loulabear22]

Hmmm that's a very positive opk!! Am seeing shadowey something's on the hgc tests! It's annoying if there nothing weird that no af hey! I hope your just late on implantation but if not hurry up the next cycle!! Xx
